Also, the amount of gain will vary with not only the weight reduction but the weight reduction relative to its moment of inertia, or distance from the center of the shafts rotation.
You certainly will not see a 21 HP increase at the wheels.  |
Hehe yeah I figured it wouldn't be anywhere close to that. But um I'm worried about the electrial power decrease - I guess thats what you'd call it. Because my car right now is having some alternator noise and I had to decrease the gains on the amp to quiet it down. I was thinking the alternator could be stressed too much already. Or I was told from Cartoys that it could be a interference from something else (there used to be a little more equipment, tons of wires everywhere). So I dunno just wondering what your thoughts would be on it.
